People are being encouraged to get on their bikes during May to help raise money for those working in Nepal’s cycling industry who have been left without jobs following this week’s devastating earthquake.

Events company Rather Be Cycling has set up a Ride for Nepal page on Just Giving and is asking riders to choose one day between now and 29 May when they will be out cycling and donate £1 per mile they ride.

Like much of the Nepalese economy, the bike sector there is heavily dependent on tourism and Rather Be Cycling is aiming to raise at least £1,000 for tour guides, trip crew, office and store staff who have been affected by the disaster.

Hopefully with your help, we can get them much more than that.
